You're welcome!
Well I dug up NEXT LEVEL, GUILTY and A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES~.
The rest are a bit harder to find since in their threads since usually there weren't the daily charts just the weekly. ^-^

1st Days
39,292 X 1.7 = 66,796 - GUILTY
A COMPLETE ~ALL SINGLES - 116,801
NEXT LEVEL - 99,200

It seems that natsu didn't update the blog with new singles today... hopefully he will do it tomorrow or at some point of the week.
Unless if another source will become available.
From what it seemed he updated even within the double weeks, let's hope he won't stop like oricon does in those two weeks this year though he does update random stuff. xD

Maemi 29th December 2009 06:31 PM

^ thanks again! ^^

Masamune 29th December 2009 09:04 PM

I hope that this single will do well, I hope that Disney Japan supported that single...

SunshineSlayer 29th December 2009 09:11 PM

I'm really not sure what to predict for this singles sales. It's very up in the air I think.

It has been like that for a couple of years now :yes And it seems that the digital sales aren't a good indicator of how will the physical sales fare either.

rakeru 29th December 2009 10:54 PM

looking at the numbers of the most recent singles, I finally realize how amazing G/D was! I hope this single can do almost as well...

Bigtop 29th December 2009 11:20 PM

It better be #1, or else her #1 streak stops short...

ayumisrael 29th December 2009 11:27 PM

ayu's single has no competition so her #1 streak is secured.

Jason 29th December 2009 11:38 PM

I have nothing but high hopes for the sales of this single. Honestly, I think it's the best single ayu has released all year. As long as it gets the same sales as Rule/Sparkle or higher, I'll be happy. :P

There's no way it won't be number 1 since Avex made sure to release it at a time with no competition. Unless Gackt suddenly pulls some awesome numbers, the number 1 is safe. The question is what the sales numbers will actually be. I'm thinking it won't do as well as Days/Green.

Ayumiko 30th December 2009 12:45 AM

^I don't think it will reach days/green sales...although that would be great~ If it can reach rule/sparkle sales, I'll be very satisfied.

Bigtop 30th December 2009 01:11 AM

What's the thing with Gackt? Why is he not more popular than Ayu? I'm just wondering...

Crystal_Ageha 30th December 2009 01:50 AM

Um, because Gackt is more of a television personality than an artist of any kind, lol. He himself is more popular as a fangirl magnet. He's not overly popular as a singer in general, especially not when compared to people like Ayumi Hamasaki.

AyuWorld 30th December 2009 02:13 AM

lol i didn't know that,about Gackt ^ ^

nwey D/G are just awesome! i hope that this single will do better cos it deserves it! japanese should appreciate it more XD

Being an "artist" or not has basically 0 to do with popularity and sales in Japan actually. In fact, often times it is usually the tv personalities that outsell those that would be considered true "artists." But actually Gackt is both a tv personality and artist. He writes, composes, and produces nearly everything in his career (if not everything maybe) and also plays many musical instruments. By the typical American definition of an artist, Gackt actually fits it better than most Japanese singers do. So if even Gackt doesn't qualify as an artist, I don't know just who in Japan does. ^_^
The thing with Gackt is that he has been around for over 10 years and just like anything, your popularity goes down and his appeal was already more niche than many popstars to begin with. His audience is mostly female, but his audience has never really been very mainstream - if it were, he'd be selling like Johnny's acts. :) Also he didn't release much new material for almost a couple of years due to filming movies and tv shows, so that contributed to his sales drop as well probably.

Meat Pao 30th December 2009 05:39 AM

Oh dear I had a terrible dream last night that the first day sales of the single was 26k... lol. I've been dreaming lots of nonsense lately

I've always found it a shame he doesn't sell as well as Johnny's considering he has waaaaaaaaaay more talent to go along with his appeal in my opinion. His songs, especially back in the day, are MASTERPIECES! :luv2

That's true for so many j-pop artists. But oh well.
